Neurons that track which direction an animal faces can hold their firing patterns steady for months, even as other brain cells tied to spatial memory shift and rearrange. That finding, drawn from long ...

Scientists have successfully connected living human brain cells to a computer system and taught them to interact with the classic video game DOOM. The strange experiment marks a new step toward ...

In a sweeping new map of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, researchers at the University of Oxford found that mature ...

International researchers develop NTAC, an AI that identifies neuronal types with 90% accuracy based purely on synaptic connectivity, outperforming traditional shape-based methods.

The visual cortex is the part of the brain that enables visual perception. In this area millions of nerve cells, called neurons, process stimuli from the outside world. They only react when objects ...

Researchers create the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the fruit fly brain, revealing how lineage and birth order define neuronal identity.

Scientists have recreated the growth of Lewy bodies in human neurons and followed their formation to gain important insight into why and how they form. Critically, they find that immune challenge is ...

Scientists grew 8,00,000 human neurons in a laboratory, connected them to a Pong game, and watched them learn the video game in five minutes with no body, no senses, and no past. The DishBrain ...

Neurons activated by psychological strain recruited immune cells that drove skin inflammation in mice, revealing a pathway linking stress and skin disease.
